Was surfing on the net and ran accross this good site about one of my favorite all time towns. I would have graduated with the class of 1981, but the Company my dad worked for said one year in T-hawk was enough. I would love to hear from some of the 81 graduates, I left T-hawk in 1978. Hopefully there's some 81 people still in town. JW Jeff Wilson < Wilson612@hotmail.com > USA - Monday, November 13, 2000 at 02:20:18 (EST)

I just breezed through the guestbook, and didn't see anybody from the class of 1982. Like to hear from any body that still remembers me. I finished my senior year there. I loved the school and the people. I can say one thing for sure, I sure miss Ole Tomahawk. It was the best place to live. I get back home every few years or so, and always hate to leave. Any one see Nancy D....., tell her her I said hi...Mom Oh, Love the web site, keeps me in touch with Tomahawk.

Hi! Born in Tomahawk in '70 and was on the site, haven't seen a comment from the Theilers or Schmits. Hey guys, how are ya? Special hello's to Grama Vi and Grampa JP Schmit, Festus, Frost and Cindy, Sara and Jeff, and my cousins. Think of Tomahawk often. How is it everyone there ended up with such cool nicknames? Scuf, Dicky, Hawker, Tedso, Daisy, Frost, Festus, etc. etc.? Guess I wasn't around long enough to pick one up. Maybe next summer when I'm back for the 4th. Look forward to it, Cheers, Have a Pabst or Schlitz or Jen'n'Tonic for me! Jennifer Letham (Schmit) < jkletham@laketown.net > Williams Lake , BC CANADA - Friday, November 03, 2000 at 22:53:35 (EST)

What a neat website. A way for me to keep up on what's happening in the town where I 'grew up' Wasn't born there but moved in '72 and started school there my Freshman year. A few really good friends. Some I should stay in better touch with but never seem to find the time when I'm up there Hey Bruce & Brian, hunting season is open, lets float the Spirit and freeze our patooties off.

As far as the class of '86 goes - I hope your all doin' great. I'll never forget our graduation bash! Trisha < Wbtrinty@aol.com > Dunnellon, FL USA - Saturday, September 30, 2000 at 01:13:59 (EST)

I love Tomahawk! I have been coming to Wisconsin on motorcycle trips since the mid seventies. In 1997 I made my first trip to Tomahawk for the fall ride and have been back every year since. The area is beautiful, the rodes great to ride and the people are friendly and warm. I have been to Sturgis and Daytona for their bike weeks and as far as I am concerned Tomahawk is by far the best. I heard a rumor from some of the locals that I have become friends with, that the event may grow to a full week. I would love that although by the end of the 3 days I spend there, I'm exhausted. A full week may kill but, I would die happy. We all enjoy the event, area and especially the people, thanks for having us.

I am looking for anyone who has been at Squaw Lake, WI in Lincoln County on County A. We stayed several times in the early 1950's at Wilson's Resort.

Spent some time with the French in New Orleans Labor Day weekend... I know the reason for the stereotype as to why "southerners" move so slow. It's so they don't break a sweat standing still in 111 degrees of heat. Still hot in Houston- 110. To all my family in Tomahawk... PLEASE SEND SNOW.... NOW!!!!

Hello, Tomahawk! Just wanted to say that last weekend (for the second year in a row) I traveled down to Mile High Stadium to see our beloved Packers beaten by those nefarious Denver Broncos (no one here ever lets me live down or forget that Super Bowl defeat). Although the weather was hot and the outcome of the game most unfortunate, I can honestly say that the Wisconsin hospitality was as great as ever. I met many wonderful people from Wisconsin tailgating in the parking lot and they were all willing to share brats and beer once they found out I was a fellow native Wisconsinite. We were all easy to recogninze with our Cheeseheads. I can't say we recreated the Lambeau atmosphere at the Mile High, but we did our best. It's just great that no matter where you go, Wisconsin people seem to be universally friendly and giving. That's all for now. I just hope that next year the Broncos have to go play in Green Bay...in December!!! Steve Rehse <rehse@lamar.colostate.edu > Fort Collins, CO USA - Thursday, August 17, 2000 at 12:49:57 (EST)

Hi just a short note to say i miss Tomahawk. We are currently living in Las Vegas, but plan to leave here in early 2000. Just thought I would say hi and thank you for putting the Leader on the net.

Just recently I moved to South Dakota. I have been here for 3 weeks and I miss Tomahawk so much!! I have lived in Tomahawk since I was born. I have always been a suker for traveling and I was very excited to move to South Dakota. Now that I have I want to move back. I really miss all the little things: the fresh smell, the quietness, the freindly people, my family, and All my friends.You really don't know what you have till it's gone. Hopefully I will be back for a visit soon. Miss you ALL! Sara Ann Roberts Ellsworth AFB, SD USA - Thursday, July 20, 2000 at 14:46:50 (EST)

July 18, 2000 It is 106 degrees in Tucson Arizona and thoughts of Tomahawk certainly settle in. Wish I was up there now with the crowd on Manson lake or running around any other part of Northern Wisconsin as I did as a 1950's youth. Does anyone remember Towerhill? The Wisconsin visit is going to be late this year. Have a 45th High School reunion in Wausau September 8-9 and would you believe a reunion of the group that grew up on Enterprise Lake the same weekend. It is going to be busy and very exciting. I will arrive late in August, stay until about the 10th of September, photographing everything in sight during that time, hit the Bridge for a cool one ocassionally (is Andy still the owner?)and head for family on the West Coast before returning to Tucson. Does anyone in Tomahawk remember the Admiral Bar in Wausau? It was my Father's (Clyde Weir) establishment until 1960 when the Wausau Docs suggested he head for Arizona for my Mother's health. I certainly will visit the Admiral while in the area. Check in (major78@aol.com) if you like. It is a pleasure to talk to the Wisconsin people and check out my side line at www.thearizonaphotographer.com to see what a retired Air Force Pilot does in Arizona with his spare time. Any one have a suggestion on where I can rent a boat and motor for some musky fishing while in the area?

My Mother and Father had put such hard work into planning my husband and my wedding that I just wanted to say Thank You. Since we are both stationed in Georgia, it was harder for me to organize the wedding. My Mother stepped in and did a wonderful job planning, organinzing, and making sure it went off with a bang. I couldn't have done it without them. Being a Tomahawk native it was such a pleasure to get married in my home town with friends and family that I know.

Hello from the Circulation Director at the Rhinelander Daily News! My fiancee and I had a unique experience this last weekend (July 9) when we sorta rescued a syndicated outdoor columnist (who writes for the Leader as well as other newspapers throughout Wis and Mich). We happened to be canoeing on the Willow Flowage and probably only the persons in sight within a 20 mile radius when we spotted reporter/writer Mark Walters having trouble with his boat and car. After the big storm, his car was somewhat submerged at the boat landing and stuck and he was having trouble getting his car out of the water, much less his boat, which motor had died. We spent over an hour digging him out and it's a good thing we were around to help as there was not another soul in sight. He said it was one of those weekends where everything went wrong, including the boat motor dying, his camera breaking and his four wheel drive in his car going out. Needless to say, Mark was extremely grateful for our help as he was stuck 15 miles from the highway and nearest help. Mark plans on writing a column about his experience and he writes for the Leader as well as many other newspapers throughout Wisconsin and Michigan.......P.S. Have lots of itching from mosquito bites? There is a natural plant called jewelweed out there that is better than any product you will find on the shelves in stores to cure that itch!

My grandfather, Michael Galek, moved to Tomahawk from Poland around 1913. My father, Louis, was born there in 1915. They moved to NYS in the 20's and never went back, although my father always talked fondly of his memories of the area and always wanted to return for a visit. My father is deceased now, but I continue to be interested in researching my father's roots. I was thrilled to find this site and would like to visit the area someday.

I enjoy coming to the web site every Tuesday to catch us on the news in my "old" hometown. I have been gone almost 20 years (in the Air Force), but still recognize many of the names. Maybe when I retire in 6 months, I will be able to physically visit more often. Of course, I still hear all the "breaking" news from my mom, Bettie Ecklund, or sister, Julie Garfield.

Surfing the internet and what a surprise to find the Tomahawk Leader on the internet. It certainly something that you all can be proud of as it is one of the best I haveseen. Wanchese is a small fishing village located on the Outer Banks. We have a stained glass studio and gift shop named NICK-E. It is our retirement endeavor and very enjoyable. It was nice to read about things in Tomahawk and see names that I remember. I imagine that they are children and Grandchildren of the people I knew. Keep up the good work and I will be back to your cite again soon. Robert Nick < nick-e@beachlink.com > Wanchese , NC USA - Wednesday, March 29, 2000 at 21:08:27 (EST)
